What a great performance and recording. Super horn arrangement. Just love it. Bravo Jeff and co! 

all the horns and harmonies - nothing like classic Steely Dan

A righteous rendition, true to the original

SCANNING lyrics

Im scanning through our story
Im locked in a future I created for us
You disappeared from my life
I gave you all I had
But it was not enough
You disappeared from my life
Its still your terms like it always was
All these questions spinning around
Somehow I keep losing my ground

Scanning through our story

Not sure if Im haunting our dreams or mine
You disappeared from my life
Im scanning through our story
Im locked in a future I created for us
you disappeared from my life
you had my heart and my time
all these questions spinning around
Somehow i keep losing my ground

Yeah Im scanning through our story

Techinando La Rumba

Here's an old neoclassical style guitar solo I recorded over a year ago that I wanted to add to so I put some small orchestral accents in there to embellish the movements. Played around a lot with harmonic minor and some phrygian. Recorded the solo on my schecter custom guitar.

I'm working on an instrumental album at the moment and re-amping this was a tone test of sorts for my lead for the album. This solo pays homage to one of my favorite guitar players, Yngwie J Malmsteen. In the same way that Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen changed the guitar scene when they came out in the 60s and 70s respectively, Yngwie changed it again in '83. I consider those guys the BIG 3. If I name all of the players that influenced me though this paragraph will go on forever so I'll stop it here lol.

I don't care for "I trust you"
I don't care how it sounds
Ian, my latest server 
Is far beyond the bounds

Last we listen, last we wait
Fog in my brightest dreams
For my love in its passing
Should be depraved hidden screams

Iron, iron forges me
Iron, iron forges flesh

Sinking deeper in lonely abandon
Sinking deeper in art's holy names
Trusting my own foolish instincts
Thirsting for hunt of smaller game

Sitting below weeping dark trees
Sat in the cold corner ground
Ian left me, I don't have his mind
And I don't care for my own solid sound

Iron, iron forges me
Iron, iron forges flesh
lyrics by Kyle Bolan
